Daily Mail accused of stalking woman mistaken as White Stripes drummer Meg White

The tabloid boasted in a now-deleted article that they found White and promised to reveal her secret new life'

The Daily Mail newspaper secretly tailed and photographed a woman in Detroit and then published an article and photographs falsely accusing her of being former The White Stripes drummer Meg White, even after she told the newspaper it had mistaken her identity, multiple sources have told the Guardian.

The rightwing British tabloid quietly removed the article and photographs, first published on 6 August, from its website last week. The Mail did not issue a correction or editor's note explaining the removal.
